[edit] Plot

Someone is killing wizards. Apparently without the use of magic. Lord Darcy is sent to investigate. He must uncover the murderer and ascertain whether the whole business is a ploy to kill the king himself.

To complicate matters Darcy must investigate during the preparations for the investiture of Gwiliam, Duke of Lancaster (King John IV’s younger son), as Prince of Gaul. To add international tension, the Crown Prince of Poland, His Majesty the King of Courland, will attend the ceremony.
